For the price, this thing is really amazing. It obviously excels at getting shots in low light, but try stopping it down a bit when the light is more favorable - at f/8 it can sometimes beat out my L zoom lens.

light, cheap and non-intimidating to your photo subjects. i've taken some of my favorite pictures with this lens. sometimes not very sharp at all, though, and i've missed a couple of good shots as a result. worth the money and practical.
